Historical data contradict the Habitat Amount Hypothesis We find unexpected negative HA relationships for the 1930s (but positive in 2000s) We suggest the HAH is undermined by confounding of HA with other landscape variables Led by Lucy Ridding @BecksSpake onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec…

In our new paper we find that invertebrate species richness 🐝🐞🕷 is greater inside vs outside protected areas in 🇬🇧 ✔ Yet, species are declining equally across both protected and unprotected areas 📉❌ 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #Biodiversity #ProtectedAreas #OpenAccess

🌾 Can we see spatial patterns in GB crop rotations? 🌾 How well can we predict the next crop in a rotation? 📢 New paper with @petehenrys John Redhead Susan Jarvis & Richard Pywell UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology #CropMap #CropRotation #ASSISTagri #OpenAccess 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.scit… 1/8

Excited to see our article published in Ecography's issue today! We find a negative habitat amount effect in the 1930s for calcareous grassland and heathland, but not in the 2010s. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec… @BecksSpake James Bullock @Sal_Keith

Great overview of all the research made possible thanks to Ronald Good and the Dudley Stamp Map

Great thread highlighting the range of #grassland research at UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology

Very useful paper led by Oliver Wilson here; happy to have been able to be a part of it, and to have been able to demonstrate the future use of National Plant Monitoring Scheme #data for investigating climate change impacts. Thanks also BBC Radio 4 for having me on #Today to talk about it early this am

We used the universal law of human mobility to map #nature-based #recreation in the #UK: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. It also makes a great proxy for access to many other #ecosystemservices.

Do plant traits influence primary succession patterns for #bryophytes & vascular #plants? Evidence from a 33-year chronosequence on bare chalk👇 Lucy Ridding Oli Pescott besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

📢Our new paper published in Journal of Ecology Vascular plant and bryophyte succession on bare chalk – only some plant traits were found to influence abundance through succession, but these were sometimes contrary to the expected pattern Find out more here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

NEW! We've created the most comprehensive map of England's #hedgerows to date! 💡 390,000km of hedgerow on field boundaries 📏 Depicts hedgerow length & height (for 1st time!) 🔎 Reveals areas with highest & lowest hedgerow densities Read more: ceh.ac.uk/press/high-tec… 1/🧵

Calcareous grasslands are increasingly threatened by the dominance of tor grass – 📢our new paper examines methods for its control including the use of 1) herbicides & seeding and 2) cutting & grazing doi.org/10.1016/j.jnc.…

I’m delighted to share our new paper on the implications of marsh harrier hunting and diet on breeding waders, after this (and more) being the body of my MSc dissertation 9(!) years ago at University of Kent with RSPB Science doi.org/10.1080/000636… 1/9

🗺️ In our latest geovisualisation, Josep Serra Gallego, a Spatial Data Scientist at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology), shares how he and his fellow researchers produced the most comprehensive map of hedgerows across England. Read more 👉 rgs.org/about-us/what-…
